ExplanationCommentary

Hebrew “retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and to kill … about thirty men; for they said, surely they are destroyed before us, (or flee) as in the first battle.” It is wonderful that they should thus so easily fall into the very snare laid formerly for the men of Hai. Joshua 8:5.
